Holiday Homes in Oak Bay

"We have stayed at the Algonquin on multiple occasions and this stay was not as enjoyable as past stays. We ate at the Rite Whale pub and the food was not good at all! I almost broke a tooth on the calamari! The service was poor and it was not busy at the pub at all…we were charged a resort fee of $35 at the end of our stay without an explanation and were not told at time of check in that this would occur. Our room wasn’t very clean and the furniture and linens were quite worn out. We were also front row to the renovations of the new spa which was loud. The pool area was lacking in seating and we were left to sit on our towels on the floor…there is def room for improvement based on our stay!"

"Great location. Beautiful view"

"We’ve been here a couple of times over the past decade. While it is always clean, we’re not seeing a lot of changes or upgrades along the way. The room (35) was dark due to the heavy, dark, old fashioned bedspreads, and matching drapes. The older style lamp next to the bed has a three- way but has just a single level LED bulb, just barely adequate for reading. The bathroom has multiple defects in the paint. The toilet is VERY low and difficult to access. The dated TV worked in the evening but I couldn’t get the remote to function the next morning. All in all, the room rate ($190 CDN) seems high in proportion to what you get."

"Nice place to stay overnight on our road trip into Canada."

"Clean, comfortable and quiet."

"Very clean and restaurant was decent. Very friendly staff and easy access to all shops and surrounding businesses."

"Pet friendly location with amazing patio and the most amazing view of the Bay. Hot tub was a nice touch. We enjoyed having a fenced in area for our dog.and was access to ocean floor"

"Host communication was great and check in was easy. The property is oceanview, the apartment isn't. It is a basement apartment in a home that the hosts live in. There are no windows to face the water, and there was no accessible space for us to enjoy the view. There were a few other issues with general upkeep. Quick drive to saint andrews, nice shower, delicious coffee! "

"My stay was like a visit with old friends. The hosts couldn’t have been more accommodating, and the historic house was intriguing. My room was very clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was sumptuous. I wish I could have stayed longer!"
